current form i'd have to say dv is playing better, im not saying dp SHOULD play instead of him, im just saying lippi WOULD play dp instead of dv, he tends to do that.
Come on, its better in that way... and i hope that when DP returns... Lippi will still maintain the rotations. (Obviously not so frequently because del piero is there but..)

Well, he still is playing better. With that kind of form, Lippi would almost be forced to insert him more to the starting line up.

In one oportunity he tried to do a cross, crossing his right foot behind his left foot and kicking the ball up!!. Sadly it ended in nothing.
That is such a stupid move! :groan: Just because it's POSSIBLE yet HARD to do it doesn't mean it's a great move, it looks silly and it doesn't accomplish anything.
I remember that last year when DP was injured we won all the games in Serie A. That was the period where Nedved found his form. We played several small teams but the most memorable win during DP's absence was the 3-0 against Inter.
As far as rotation goes, we should keep playing all the strikers like we are now so that they all stay in form. And DP should be a part of that rotation as well.
Rotating strikers isn't a bad idea because if one of them would be left out for a long period and then suddenly needed due to injuries to other players then he would be rusty and probably not as fit as the usual starter .. But with squad rotation everyone gets his chance and all players are kept on their toes, waiting for their moment to shine ..
I read sometime ago that di Vaio was actually happy with Lippi's rotation and that's a good sign ..
By the way, I'm starting to feel the Neddy and Di Vaio has become best friends, they like celebrating goals together
Other 'couples' : Trezegol and Camo .. Del Piero and Zambro .. Tacchi and Appiah ? .. Montero and Ferrara
With his good form he could've demanded a first team start especially that Del Piero is injured and he has been very patient in the past season .. but it's good that he's Ok with it and respects Lippi's choices ..
i really think it will be better for Del Piero and the team if he dont stand above the rotation system.. but the reality is he do.. and even an on form Di vaio still have to give in to a fit Del Piero...
Yes, we all now that DP will be starter is most of he matches when fit.. after all, he is our captain....
but what i dont want is what lippi did last year... to forgot divaio in the benches...
now matters are worst because w ehave divaio and miccoli. both very good players who need time in the pitch and need to feel confortably to perform. Both, Miccoli and DV hates to be benched.
I just hope that this rotation will coninue... maybe it will not be the same,,, but they need to continue playng.
the thing is both Del Piero and Trezeguet have their own special quality to downgrade rotation system into just another substitution system...:undecide:
oh well... what DP cant give indivually will be cover up by the team moral collectively...he is the club captain after all.. not really fair to DV though..
Yeah, I agree with you! Lippi should follow the rotation system, but as Alex is the captain and the fav of the fans and very good in the same time, he won't be left out for sure. Lippi will be in a hard situation to decide who should start, as Miccoli and Marco play also very well nowadays! And we mustn't forget about Trez!
